So about that new job...

I am now working for Barnabas Missions, and though I’m currently not certain what my title is, my job is an odd combination of evangelism and marketing… and anything else that needs to be done around the office. Tomorrow I get to learn how to cook the books. Do the books is what Brian calls it, but in every business, honest or not, legitimate or not, for-profit or not, some massaging of the books has to happen in order to make everything nice and tidy. Not everything fits into the neat little pre-set categories in the bookkeeping software.

Wonder how much the IRS massages its books? And the scary thing is that it reports to the Congress, which doesn’t have the best track record at keeping itself financially honest. Nor do the individual members of Congress, especially with their campaign funds. No, there’s probably a giant cycle of malfeasance going on in there, but since it’s within the government, they can usually get away with it, yet they put the thumbscrews to poor doped-up Willie Nelson….

So now I get to rant professionally about how the church is blowing it on evangelism. Cool.
